3.2 Hooking Up Video Output

Now connect one or more of the Converter’s output ports to your video equipment:

COMPOSITE (RCA® jack): You can feed this single composite-video output signal into the “video” input jacks on ordinary TVs, monitors, VCRs, or professional video equipment. It cannot be connected to the “antenna” input.

S-VIDEO(4-pinmini-DIN female): Called S-Video, S-VHS, or Y/C, this output is an advanced form of video which carries the brightness and color parts of images on two separate signals. It is compatible with the Hi-8 and Beta-ED standards. Feed it into compatible equipment by using the included S-Video cable and you’ll get a better-quality picture than the COMPOSITE output can provide.

RED, GREEN, BLUE, SYNC (DB9 female): This premium-quality output, which can be used by some video projectors and monitors, consists of separate red, green, blue, and sync signals. If you’d like to use this output with compat- ible equipment, call your supplier for a special quote on RGBS cable with

a male DB9 connector on one end and male BNC connectors, European SCART connectors, or connectors for Sharp LCD projectors on the other end.

All outputs are available at the same time. You don’t have to terminate unused outputs.
